Drawing from his own experiences, Sangun Park’s art serves as a means to confront and transcend personal pain. His series “On My Shelf” explores objects on a shelf arranged by the artist’s aesthetic and criteria of value; it reflects his concept of value as intertwined with life’s finite and infinite aspects, mortality, and the embrace of imperfection. Park’s life has limitations, while his collections can fluctuate in value, mirroring the mutable nature of his own name and works as affected by condition, time, and perspective. The artist’s approach melds figurative and surrealistic imagery in a multidimensional space. His compositions are simultaneously familiar and strange, featuring characters, animals, and hybrid, grotesque forms against intricate backdrops, creating a muted yet uncanny experience.
